Getting Started
Overview
Welcome to Qarbine. The Modern Data Collaboration Suite built to help modern application developers deliver enhanced application data analysis features and provide their end users a seamless experience to gain AI driven insights.
Administrators start off by reviewing the deployment guides from the left sidebar. Once Qarbine is installed, then developers, analysts and other users can then get a quick tour of Qarbine’s concepts by following along in the Sandbox Guided Tour.
Navigating Across the Tools
As a suite of integrated tools there are menu options and other techniques to have multiple Qarbine tool tabs open at once. The first time a tab is tried to be programmatically opened, the browser may issue a warning that the pop up was blocked. These pop ups must be given permission to open. You may be presented with a dialog with the following.
Choose the option below and then click the “Done” button.

Tools
Qarbine has 10+ integrated tools to collaborate with modern data, popular web tools, fellow team members, and other teams. Access the tools by choosing the second tab.
Below is the sidebar listing the various tool related documentation.
The general execution flow for many use cases is shown below.
The optional prompt obtains runtime values from the user, the data source has a query to retrieve data and the template defines how to iterate over the data, process it, and present it. All of these components are all stored in the shared catalog. Components can reference one another to share team knowledge, solutions, and avoid component sprawl!
Tutorials
Choose the third tab to see a sidebar of the various tutorial areas.
These documents are segmented into the following categories.
Support
Choose the fourth tab for the steps on how to contact support.
Qarbine has integrated automated gathering of some of the valuable context information needed to understand support questions. This enables more efficient support, standardization, and timeliness. It is available for review as part of what you sent to the support team.
